A few years ago I met a man at a Corvair event in Calif that was a test tech for Harbor Freight. His job was to test their tools that they get in from China. And vary few other countries. I was a little surprised by that. But it does make since. We all know the reputation of China. Yes. I'm sure they must make something right for someone. I bought a Snap On drill, and half inch impact 8 years ago. Use the impact alot at road race event. My Yenko Stingers seem to wear out tires for some strange reason about ever 200 miles. Must be the tires. RIGHT. The batteries are holding up to this day. No tool issues. I do buy HF tools if I only am going to use them vary vary vary seldom. I only get their little red meters if there FREE. Then I only use them for 12 volt, or Ohms. And then I don't totally trust them. From my experience. If they wanted 2 cents for that meter. I wouldn't spend the money. A bad reading could cost you money, or your life when working with 110 volts. Bob D

I love those meters
My experience is just the opposite
Free is an excellent price
Amy meter reading is just an indication
No matter if it is on a fluke or a GMC meter
And I been doing this stuff for 50 years :)
